Full metal alchemist Brotherhood was one of the first anime i watched and i am sure the same can be said for many others, I believe the reason for this is not purely based off of the fact that it is very popular but also because it is a great starter/beginner anime. The reason i think this is thanks to the shows inclusion of everything that makes anime what it is (music,animation the works) and the fact that the anime isn't missing anything crucial like some other anime shows is a testament as to how much care was weaved during production. What i am trying to say is the show does everything well and in my humble opinion has no glaring flaws aside from the fact that while it does everything well it doesn't go above and beyond in any aspect so in retrospect it has no glaring negatives but also no glaring positives, it is simply put a tightly made show, a jack of all trades if you will these facts combined make it very appetising for newcomers.

Now don't hate me for this but i do think the show is slightly overrated. Majority of people who watch this show watch it as one of their first anime due to it being recommended to them through various means and because it is so balanced overall (as mentioned) people hail it after the first watch and that is because they don't really have anything to compare it to. Now i'm 100 percent sure that there are people who have seen the show after seeing many others and still give it a shining star of a rating and that is fine everyone is entitled to their opinions this review is just my opinions on the matter.

If you want to describe full metal alchemist in one sentence it would either be : the perfect starting/beginner anime (death note is up there as well) or one of the most balanced and tightly made anime.

I feel there is no need to go deeper into an analysis as if you have not seen the show watch it because the show has everything while also having no major flaws. As i have mentioned countless times (sorry) it is a great beginner anime for those reasons, but just because its a good starter anime does not mean you shouldn't watch it if you are not new to the anime scene as its an absolute joy to watch from start to finish thanks to it being a great quality show all the way through.

Its an anime that sets the standard for other anime for a reason. A must watch.
